Kashina’s Rant

Ok I have a serious question for you gals… Does it drive you crazy when you have spent HOURS making something look right in a picture on your computer and THEN when you print the picture it doesn’t look anything like it did on your computer? OR even you look at the picture you spent hours working on, on someone else’s computer and it looks horrible on the other computer? Drive me crazy?!

Go to that ‘site’ it is on facebook, does that picture look yellow to you on your computer or is it just me? I am sure that person spent time and energy making that picture look fabulous on their own computer, yet on mine it looks like crap! So would you PLEASE let me know when you see a flaw on one of my pictures, chances are I can’t see it on my own computer!

Ok now that my rant is over!!! How are you guys doing with your picture needs/wants/abilities? I am asking Santa for a better lighting system for Christmas, but I don’t know which one to get any ideas? It can’t be too expensive, Santa is a stinge when he is in Dental School :-)

Also, go check out my site I just put up a new family session, aren’t they cute? The middle child didn’t want to be there, but I don’t think most boys like getting their picture taken… truth be known I don’t much like getting my picture taken, I just like memories and my mind on its own doesn’t remember like a camera does.

I hope you guys are doing wonderfully… we need to have another assignment or something we can work on in our different parts of the world to bring us together a bit more… I am working on a few photography props for the new baby, if they EVER get done I will post some pictures of them!

Senior Shoot

So I had the opportunity to take some pictures of my friend's son Zack. This is Zack. He is a senior this year at Hillcrest Highschool here in good ol Ammon. Which mind you we are currently sitting under like 5 inches of snow and it just keeps coming. Anyway...we took these seriously on Tuesday...and it snowed Sunday...UGH. Well while playing with these pictures...I played with the program, Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3. If you have never played with that before you should!!! It is a program where you can create a set of pre-made adjustments called a "preset". Then when you upload your photos, this program automatically applies those adjustments to your photos! Fabulous. If you haven't played with it...write me a post and I will show you where to get your free trial and lots of tutorials! Enjoy some of the pics!

Some Fall Family Pictures!

Hey Ladies!
Well, my calender has been pretty busy, but I finally have had some fun photo shoots. I have taken pictures for one family (below) have a date to take some of another family tomorrow, and have another in the works. Not to mention a friend who is due to have a sweet little boy any day now, and I'm in charge of his birth announcement pics. I think I could get used to this! I love it, it's too much fun! So enjoy the pictures, and feel free to check out the rest of them on my blog! Happy Fall to you all!

Raspberry Fun!

Hey Pretty Ladies! How are you girls doing? I have been a slacker when it comes to this blog! Raspberries went on sale a week ago at one of the grocery stores I shop at so ofcourse I had to stock up! They were so cute I had to get a few close ups!

Do 3 year olds ever look at the camera?

Hello Ladies!
  I had the opportunity to take pictures of one of my colleagues little ones this week. She is such a cute kid, but would NEVER look at my camera. I bribed her with cookies, flowers, puppies, you name it! So here are some of the ones I took, any suggestions let me know! Hope you are having fun with your cameras! I wish I had more time, maybe after this whole wedding thing I will! He he he!

It was a dark and stormy night…

… ok maybe it wasn’t totally dark, nor a very stormy night but I still felt like I was in a horror movie! Two days ago, while trying to back up my computer onto my hard drive I did something wrong and LOST everything on my hard drive. I started freaking out, and Todd (my computer guru) wasn’t going to be home for six hours! I was pacing, I couldn’t breath, and every once and a while I would scream, Todd was in exams all day so I couldn’t even ‘chat’ with him on gchat. It had years of my journals, and over a year and a half of pictures and six months of pictures that I hadn’t ‘gotten around’ to backing up onto CD’s yet, I thought I was going to die. Poor C didn’t know what to think. When my Todd got home and took a look at it, turned out I hadn’t even hooked up the hard drive, I had tried to down load my computer to my computer and there wasn’t enough space for it, lol! Needless to say I stole away to the back room and thanked my Heavenly Father with huge sobs.

On to happier things Congrats to Deana and Anna who survived another year of educating young minds, now you can pick up your cameras and shoot everything in sight!

The next assignment I wanted to do was a picture of Spring. It can be anything. I have always loved spring, the snow is finally gone (hopefully) and there are signs of new life everywhere. Out on the farm, there were hundreds of baby calves kicking and playing with each other… almost makes me miss the farm… almost :-)

I don’t know if I already posted this but here is a picture I would have lost and I really like it.

 

PS Jane for us that live in Vegas and Summer is all but here, take a picture of something that can be either Spring or Summer

Some of My Favorite Colors

With the desert being in spring bloom, it was nice to see a few flowers with some of my favorite colors!
